I did my Commercial add on in 4 days with Burt at Marfa Gliders. It
was great! Very good training with high standards plus lots of fun.


Yes Tony, but you had done your ground-school homework ahead of time,
had solid airmanship skills and had dual with your excellent home-club
CFIG, Matt Michael. Remember our landings on tow - including the touch
& goes? How about that simulated off-airport landing? I might have
surprised you, but you nailed it perfectly. Yep, we had a mighty good
time adding on your glider rating. By the way, congrats on buying
your first sailplane and your recent XC flights!

Anyhow, I tell everyone to allow a week at Marfa (anytime of year)
with us to acquire the new skills (above the FAA minimums), and be a
competent, confident pilot when you take the checkride with me. Some
do it in less time, but that's not the point, is it?
